Funny... i never once used the term Alt-F4... I wonder how, if you can read, you got that inclination from me...

I like the idea of not being able to log out in towns, EXCEPT, that I always need to log out in stary to combat graphic glitches. Like clockwork. Once they fix graphic glitches, i'm on board for that. Cooldown of 15 minutes is way too long. 3 minutes max; still a bit on the long side, but not ridiculous. I agree with moar zombie range. As it stands now, if you see zombies that aren't clumped, you know there is a player in dem darr hillz. Though I like the comment someone made about a 1200 meter radius for zombie spawning, that would be harder on the servers, though... 36 times, to be precise. Something closer to 800 meters would only be 16 times as much potential zombies max, but i think 600 is gonna be the sweet spot. This is, of course, provided that the 200 meter range is accurate for the current spawning: I don't know what the current range is so i'm only going off what people have said in this thread.

The flamer inside me wants to yell out "Go play WoW." The realist inside me goes "They have no production staff to create, much less code these events when they're working on the main game." The geek in me is excited by the idea of taking server hopping out of the equation by introducing a way to reward players who are making their way between towns to perhaps stumble upon random wreckage with a radio that, say, will lead you to a working car if you go in the direction that makes the signal strength stronger.

Lol; Did France run a lot? I thought they just didn't really fight much.

It's a spectrum that I was attempting to create. The 11 items i created were random, and perhaps skewed one way or the other. The point was for people to either reorder my list if they disagreed with it, or add one more item if they generally agreed with it. Don't worry about it now, though, i'm gonna let the thread die and try to be more clear next time.

Well, seeing as the only true, self-reported one from the list was the one about me being teleported from Berezino and logging off immediately, apparently i'm suddenly not Germany?

Maybe I wasn't clear. I'll let this thread die and come back later to try again. I wasn't trying to make any statements about what was or wasn't combat logging; but perhaps by asserting that there is somehow things that are more outrageous combat logging and some that are either benign or not even combat logging, and merely trying to make a continuous list on the spectrum must not be as interesting to other people as it is to me. Somehow populating a list where the only true one was me being teleported to nw airfield and me logging off makes me worthy of flames? My guess is linking the previous thread as context just confused people to the point of this one...

I apologize if English is not your primary language. I don't want to offend you for language endeavors. But i don't see how you being a spineless pussy has anything to do with a quote game I was attempting to start?

Are you talking to me? Are you not capable of reading the thread purpose...?

Not Combat Logging Side 0. Reading this forum. 1. Bathing in the blood of innocents (Camping cherno). 2. You see a player. They do not see you. You log off. 3. Through voice chat, you convince someone to team up with. With his back turned, you steal something from his pack and log off. 4. You are west of Berezino. You are suddenly hacked into NW airfield with all the other players from the game. You open fire. 5. You are west of Berezino. You are suddenly hacked into NW airfield with all the other players from the game. You log off. 6. You are west of Berezino. You are suddenly hacked into NW airfield with all the other players from the game. You hear someone open fire. You log off. 7. You hear a gunshot. You log out 8. You hear several gunshots. You log out. 9. You take a bullet but dodge inside a house. You bandage. You wait. 5 minutes passes. You log off. 10. You get hit with a bullet. You log out. Combat Logging Side

I'm curious about the community/forum's thoughts on combat logging. Rather than espouse something that will just bring flamers, or initially quibble on where and what is allowed when, I'd like to start with a little game. I'm going to post a couple ways that a player can log out, and will order these in least/no combat logging to blatant combat logging. The purpose of this game is twofold: You can either quote someone whose list you generally agree to and add a situation of your choosing anywhere to the list to make a longer list. Or, on very long lists, you can quote someone and reorder the list. The purpose here is to see what people think about combat logging severity, as opposed to trying to find a dividing line between combat logging and not. If you want to see my failed attempt at arguing for such a line, you can find my first thread post here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/63176-combat-logging-am-i-guilty-or-innocent/#entry602755 I will start my list in the second post!

Sometimes you'll lose progress/tents if servers roll back. In general, the best bet is to always keep the stuff you can't stand to lose. Until you die. And lose it.

I am sometimes amazed what anonymity and fake gender choosing will allow to happen. Oh Internet...

You either can't read or missed where I said it shouldn't be obvious. Nice straw man, though.

So ever since my friend and I found NVG (And i let him have it without him having to kill me), he's been sticking to night servers primarily. Beckoned me into one as well. So I make my way in pitch blackness toward Stary from west of Pustoshka. We're on skype. I get closer and even though he's on the NE side, he says he can see my flashlight all the way on the SW side as i come through the grocers. I get closer and log out temporarily to fix graphic glitches. I was getting from the tent region. sign back in, and I let him know "I'm not going to want to turn my flashlight on and possibly lead someone to you, but I will need it to get clear of the houses. I'll use a chemlight and you navigating me once i get clear of the majority of zombies. I get out of the red brick building and make my way NE and frogger past a couple zombies. I turn off my light, I throw a chemlight to the ground and pick it up. It's the nice, soft blue one. *Pop* I see a muzzle flare to the east. Me: "Are you shooting?" Before he can even respond, The muzzle flare breaks again, I take damage. I drop the chemlight and start crouch running north. *Pop, pop!* My legs are broken. Me: "I'm being shot from the east, do you see him??" Him: "I see him." The bandit was killed almost instantaneously after. I bandage and morphine up. There is no way i'm gonna turn on my flashlight. Him: "Do you have an AK!?" Me: "N-no, i'm going prone. Do you see someone else?" Another person is killed right after. There are only 5 people on the server, ourselves included. My friend checks out the body first, with me pleading for him to lead my blind ass over to the body. Our haul? He gets the Coyote backpack the bandit had, I get the NVG. Some extra stanag for me. a GPS for him. All in all, it's rather nice getting such a nice haul for being unintentional bait. ;D
